EARTH episode two of the five-part series broadcast last night, and the host's fashion choices seemed to leave many viewers stunned.

Chris Packham has been dubbed the "next David Attenborough" by some fans of the BBC series, but the star appeared not to have borrowed anything from David's wardrobe with his more colourful outfits being a talking point online.

Episode two of Earth, Snowball, had the television presenter going back in time to explore how the giant supercontinent Rodinia broke up 800 million years ago. 

He discussed how the Earth's tectonic forces ripped the land apart, unpacking how it kick-started events that sent temperatures plummeting and how the deep freeze started with fire.

With cinematic shots of Chris walking vast spans of ice the star wore a variety of bright yellow outfits. 

Chris donned a collection of bright outfits ranging from a simple yellow shirt and khaki trousers to a yellow puffer jacket and fleece to his most talked about outfit of a yellow waterproof jacket and fishing hat.
